Hi Everyone,

I think ANY implementation of Ruby (tiny Ruby anyone ;-) )
would be better than none.

whether we have to change a few library routines - who cares.
I absolutely prefer it to C now.=20

BTW what about an implementation for Pocket PC?

I've found that pretty much every standard C library routine I wanted =
was=20
available with a slightly different name.  For example, StrPrintf() for=20
sprintf().

Hence, a few #define's can get you a long way.  Of course, most of the =
*nix=20
library routines are missing, but unless they're used by the other code, =
that=20
would simply mean that some of Ruby's library routines would have to be=20
sacrificed.
